In short

Four reviews involve patients with autism, sensory sensitivities or other special needs, and each is four- or five-star. Recent evidence is thin, with only five reviews written in the past 12 months. Just 4% of all reviews are low-rated, but the single one- or two-star review since October 2023 says the reviewer felt pushed toward treatment they doubted.
